In mid-June 2023, the Robeson Art Guild and CAM, The Contemporary Art Museum of Raleigh, formed a partnership to support visual artists from Robeson County through development, exhibition, and promotion for successful careers.

|
Our local artists will gain invaluable exposure through the major Robeson County Artist Exhibition in Raleigh at the CAM, opening March 2024 and continuing through August 2024.
|
The process begins with the January juried show in Lumberton at which art pieces for the Raleigh exhibition will be selected. The Lumberton show will be held at the Osterneck Auditorium. Once the juror from CAM has made his selections, the Lumberton show opens to the public on January 20 and will be available for viewing and private tours through January 29th.
|
To ensure that all our artists can participate, there will be no fees for the juried show nor for the major show at CAM Raleigh. Artwork does not have to be for sale, nor will commissions be due for those who choose to sell their work. Entry in the Lumberton juried show is required for the CAM Raleigh …

JUDGE'S COMMENTS
|
|
There's a lot of really nice work here today. When I judge, mostly I'm looking for something very original, something that I wouldn't see anywhere else. So, of course, that attracts me to the abstracts. Mainly, I'm looking for something that draws me in, catches my attention and holds my attention. It's like a conversation between the artist and the viewer. And if the artist has succeeded in sending a message, then the viewer will see it and recognize “Okay, that’s great.”
I do want to point out that when anybody judges a show, it's one person's opinion on that particular day. No one should be hurt, although I understand the feeling. I'm an artist myself and I enter shows all the time. Sometimes I'm accepted, sometimes I'm not, and it never feels good to not be chosen.
- Sandy Stratil, Judge, Hang the Halls Exhibition, November 15, 2023
